There are only 4 places throughout Indy where gethostname() is ever called:
- IndyComputerName() in IdGlobalProtocols.pas under Linux only
- ReadHostName() in IdStackDotNet.pas, IdStackLinux.pas, and
IdStackWindows.pas
None of those are called by TIdPOP3 directly. Looking into it further, I
believe the real cause of the issue is in IdStack.pas:
function IdStackFactory: TIdStack;
begin
Result := GStackClass.Create;
...
Result.FHostName := Result.ReadHostName; // <-- here
end;
That means that the HostName is being read when Indy initializes its socket
API stack at startup. Why that is being done, I do not know.
